For Integration with Spark Plugs/Ignition Coils, Glow Plugs and Fuel Injectors
Miniature Size 2.8mm (0.11") Diameter Diaphragm Fiber Optic, EMI-Free Construction Maximum Operating Temperature 350°C (~660°F) High Accuracy under Combustion Conditions Neither Water nor Air Cooling Needed Available in AutoPSI-S Version Long-Life, Low-Cost Due to its fiber-optic construction the sensor is inherently non-electric, free from Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI), and resistant to high temperature. Thanks to the exceptionally small size the sensor fits modified production spark plugs, for non-intrusive pressure measurement in engine testing and R&D, without compromising spark plug characteristics. For OEM applications the sensor can be integrated with "Smart" Ignition Systems, Glow Plugs, and Direct Fuel Injectors, where combustion pressure is used as a feedback parameter for engine control. Custom sensor packages and connectors are available on request. |
